To clean the air filter
CAUTION: Do not operate the engine
without an air filter attached or with a dirty air
filter. This decreases the efficiency and can
cause damage to the engine.
1. Press the latch tabs (A), remove the air filter cover
(B) and remove the air filter (C).(Fig. 34 )
2. Hit the air filter against a flat surface to make the
particles fall off. You can also blow compressed air
through the air filter from the clean side of the air
filter.
CAUTION: Do not use a brush to
remove dirt as this pushes the dirt into
the air filter.
3. Clean the air filter holder (D) and the air filter cover
with a moist cloth.
CAUTION: Do not let dirt enter the air
duct that leads to the carburetor (E).
4. Put the air filter back in its initial position. Make sure
that the air filter fully seals against the air filter
holder.
5. Put the air filter cover back with the bottom tabs first.

CAUTION: Always use the recommended
spark plug type. Incorrect spark plug type
can cause damage to the product.
Examine the spark plug if the engine is low on
power, is not easy to start or does not operate
correctly at idle speed.
To decrease the risk of unwanted material on the
spark plug electrodes, obey these instructions:
a)
Make sure that the idle speed is correctly
adjusted.
b) Make sure that the fuel mixture is correct.
c) Make sure that the air filter is clean.
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and make sure that
the electrode gap is correct, see
Technical data on
page 13
.(Fig. 35 )
Replace the spark plug if it is necessary.
To examine the fuel system
Examine the fuel tank cap and the seal for the fuel
tank cap to make sure that there are no damages.
Examine the fuel hose to make sure that there are
no leaks. If the fuel hose is damaged, let a service
agent replace it.
